Overview
- Police and officials said heavily armed militants stormed Tangkhul Naga villages near the India–Myanmar border early Thursday, burning homes and injuring several civilians.
- The strikes hit Namlee, Wanglee and Choro within the Kasom Khullen police area less than a kilometre from the frontier, sending residents into nearby forests.
- The Tangkhul Naga Long said at least 18 houses were destroyed and reported Choro was largely gutted except for its church.
- Two people remain untraced and are feared abducted, identified as Chinga Ningshen and a widow named Itobi.
- Security forces, including Assam Rifles, moved in as villagers blocked roads and demanded Manipur Police commandos, while local leaders alleged earlier warnings were ignored and blamed Myanmar-based KNA-B and PDF fighters for the assault.
